Romance to Death
Reid Baer
[bigbadgrizzlybaer@yahoo.com]
where are the traveling troubadours
roaming in the daring wild
communing with common folk
imparting songs of joy at will?
I am told they are in orders
Nicely situated in towers
Sequestered in cloisters
Learning ABC's
Earning MFA's
Receiving their commission
In The Hall of Tradition
And continuing their education
In The Commentary Delegation
while inevitably losing faith in the original word.
